What size tires do you have? I plan on buying the same wheels, and did you have to roll your fenders?

I have a quick question about a set up that I want to order for daily driving.
Rear fenders will be rolled and possibly pulled with bolt relocate if needed, I it will be in the bodyshop after my 2.3 is done due to last summers hail storms.
lowered on fa 510s
Wheels are-XXR 536 18x9 +18 offset
will be wrapping in 255/35/18
the 536s are a bbs rs rep to clarify, my main concern is if they will clear the brembos. At a +18 offset, I do not want to sacrifice any more with spacers. don't know to much when It comes to wheel fitment on these cars, so I figured Id shoot a question to the experts before I pull the trigger on these. Thank you in advance

Cant help you on caliper clearance as that is totally dependent on hub & spoke design. If spacers are needed up front that will be a deal breaker for sure IMHO. Running anything lower that +18 up front is not recommended
Dont take the +18 too lightly as the rear fenders will need some serious rolling & pulling to fit correctly running in line camber settings

Thank you for the input. The previous owner of the car either ran a very large tire or incorrectly pulled the rear fenders, so they will be seeing a lot of attention at the body shop anyway, I really wish there was a way to see of these wheeled cleared the calipers before they were sitting in my living room. I will be back with more questions, you have been very helpful!

Hey guys I just have a quick question.I just got some work emotion Kiwani 18x9.5 offset 38 and I was wondering if I run them with 245/45 or 40 would I rub?. And if I dont thats great but if I do rub will cambering stop the rubbing or would I have to roll fenders. Thank you

You shouldnt need any rear fender rolling w/the +38. Proper tire fitment excludes the idea of adding camber. If in spec camber cant be achieved, rolling is the next option

Forget the 45 series & use the 40 or the 35 series. 45 series is way too large in circumference on 18's. The 40's will certainly give it a meaty looks vs the 35

18x9.5 +38 I would go with 265/35r18. Put some meat on that thing. I'm running the same setup with a +35 offset wheel and a 5mm spacer up front to clear the strut. Rear fenders rolled flat and pulled a smidge. Fits really well.

I was wondering if 18 x 9.5 +20mm work emotion cr ultimates will fit without spacers? My rear fenders are rolled already and my friend doesn't wanna roll the fronts unless he is sure it needs to due to the small lip. I have 255/35/18 tires.

Front fitment will be OK w/out rolling providing the +20 clears. If these wheels need spacers, game over IMO. (dont run them at anything lower than +20)
Heres a thread that should help
